Audi Q5.
It's gonna be a revolting tiny soccer-mom mobile POS not even fit to be used as a $hitter.
Unless they manave to cram a V12 in there. Which would be surprising.

I have never heard of such project being even discussed within Lamborghini. I could be wrong of course, but this seems to be just another portion of specualtions. Estoque is coming in not so far future, but not a SUV. Lamborghini wants to have 3 model lines in future - ultimate supercar LP700-4, sportscar next Gallardo and luxury GT.

This is gonna suck... I don't want it to be a tiny 3 door suv... they should make it a proper size SUV like a cayenne or a range rover.
The 4.0l TT V8 is a bit dissapointing aswell, because Merc set the bar SO high with the 5.5l TT V8!
Still sorta looking forward to it though.

Word has it that the new twin-turbo V8 being developed for the Audi S7 and Bentley Continental would find its way into the Lambo crossover's engine bay, though we wouldn't be surprised to see the Raging Bull's own V10 on offer, tipped to arrive as soon as 2012.
